Hust Sold An Election. Gen. Wilie Jones, State chairman of the Democratic party, has' written a letter to County Chairman D. F. *** ** " v o v* a1 /n r\ Jtiora m wmen jm states uidu au election mast be held to elect a superintendent of education to succeed Mr. Farr. He declares that the action of the executive committee in naming Mr. A. D. Martin as the nominee, was clearly in violation of the rules of the Democratic party, and requests Chairman Efird to call the committee together and name a day for the election. Thinks Committee Sid Bight. A. D. Martin, Esq., Dear Sir?I have read with interest the controversy as to your nomination by the Executive Committee. The sole real question is whether the election, or rather nomination, of Mr. Farr ended the contest for School Commissioner. If so any man or any ? number of men could come out "as candidates. But, in my opinion, if Samuel B. George or Prank W. Shealy had put himself out of the way as Mr. Farr did, then the Executive Committee would have declared another contv>o onmiirrtr onrl _t r 109U UClinCCU VUC DUJ. I11V4 uruv v ? Buff, If this-is the proper conclugion then there was no nse for you to run the race over as you have had no competition. It would be unjust for you to have to face a new man. If there are any who wanted the office why did they not come out at first? I think the County Executive Committee took the proper view regardless of the reasons for their sction. Excuse my seeming officiousness if offensive to you. Yours very truly, J. F. Lyles. Steadman, S. C., Sept. 26, 1908. (Advertisement.) > Executm Committee Upheld. The action of the County Democratic Committee in naming A. D. Martin for County Superintendent of Education has met with practically the unanimous approval of the voters of Lexington county. Of course there are always those who oppose any movement. The kicker has his place and there is one qualification which he always displays and that is to kick4 TIT?.

But few less than a majority of the voters spoke in his favor at the close of the j high toned gentlemanly campaign against the lamented Farr, receiving .-at his home precincts a handsome -vote. This speaks well for the man where he is best known. It is the opinion of all whom we j have approached that Martin would have overwhelmingly defeated any j man who might have offered against j him in an extra primary. Then why.! put the county to the expense, and 4,- | 000 voters to the loss of valuable time? j Martin is the people's choice.?Lees- ! yille News. (Advertisement.) T ? ?
